Paediatric First Aid Course 

Description

The Paediatric First Aid Course gives you the skills to respond confidently in a child’s emergency. In the UK, this training isn’t just helpful — it’s genuinely important. Each year, around 40,000 children under five are taken to the hospital after accidents that could often be prevented.

With proper first aid training, you can lower the risk of serious harm. When you know how to act calmly and correctly, a small mistake is far less likely to turn into a dangerous situation. Ultimately, it replaces doubt with steadiness, skills, and knowledge that are actually helpful.
